Sing along with 'South Pacific' at the National WWII Museum

T-P ArchiveBecky Allen is gonna wash that man right out of her hair at the 'South Pacific' sing-along on June 20 at the National World War II Museum.

Warm up for Tulane Summer Lyric's production of "South Pacific" next month by experiencing a sing-a-long of the musical classic at the National World War II museum June 20.

The popular production -- set on a Polynesian island during World War II -- debuted on Broadway in 1949 and is once again a sell-out revival at Lincoln Center Theatre in Manhattan. But New Orleanians don't have travel far to find their own Bali Hai.

Get out your grass shirts and Hawaiian shirts and sing along with Gary Rucker, Becky Allen and Sean Patterson as they take you to the South Pacific via the music of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Join in with "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair," "Some Enchanted Evening," "Cockeyed Optimist" and more.

The doors to the National World War II museum at Andrew Higgins Drive (between Camp and Magazine streets) open on June 20 at 6 p.m. with a costume contest at 7 p.m. and film at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10. Cash bar. Free popcorn. Call 504-527-6012, ext.345 for more information.
